What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values creativity and offers opportunities for growth in content creation.

As an experienced content writer and editor, I have honed my skills in academic communications, website content development, and freelance writing. My journey began with a strong foundation in crafting compelling articles and newsletters, where I learned the importance of clarity and engagement in writing. I am detail-oriented and deadline-driven, always striving to produce content that informs and connects with diverse audiences.

Throughout my career, I have worked with various clients, tailoring content to meet their specific needs while maintaining a focus on SEO and audience engagement. My role as an Institute News Writer allowed me to collaborate closely with faculty, shaping the internal and public-facing voice of the Anand Institute of Information Science. I take pride in my bilingual writing abilities in English and Gujarati, which enables me to reach a wider audience.

Currently, I am expanding my expertise as an IT Analyst while continuing my freelance writing endeavors. I am committed to lifelong learning, as evidenced by my ongoing certification in content writing. I believe that effective communication is key to success in any field, and I am passionate about creating content that resonates with readers.
